I just can't get enough of those M166s and they look fantastic on your ride.
(Brave man to go for runflats on 19s !! )

All you need to do is get that front number plate holder sorted, like you did on your last Silver E61, and you're sorted. Is that a straight forward change?
Sure I will do that but, as I should re-paint the bumper, I will be waiting to get at least a scratch.

I'm not sure if I should wish your bumper to get a scratch soon or not


(...not of course!)

Are you sure those 166wheels have the inside hump needed for the runflat tires to be used on a flat tire? i know runflats fit all wheels, however i dont know if they work as theyre supposed to with those wheels, t

I don't think it is a problem. Runflat tyres have just reinforced side and it should work everywhere. I do not think has nothing to do with the wheels. However I did buy both by BMW Niderlassung in Munich so I suppose they now what they sell.

yes, runflat tires work with ALL wheels, but they dont function as runflat unless the wheel is specifically designed for it. I mean the tire fits, however if you get a flat, the wheel will not support the tire and it will slide to the inside of the wheel, like regular tires do.
I just don't know if 166 style wheels have the inner bump needed to work with runflats

Marco,

What seats (and option code #?) are those in your Touring? Are they power or manual? Looks like maybe a combination of both?
